JESSE L. MOSS, JR, OF WESTERLY, RHODE ISLAND.

LOOM-HEDDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,098, dated December7, 1880.

Application filed April 10, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JESSE L. Moss, Jr., of\Vesterly, Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Heddle forLooms, of which th following; is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in heddles for looms, such as areconstructed with mail-eyes and operated by a jacquard; and the object ofmy improvement is to prevent the mail-eye from moving on theheddlethreads. I attain this object by the construction illnstratedinthe accompanying drawing, which is an elevation of the heddle.

The mail-eye A is held in the loops of the heddle-threads B B, thatserve, respectively, to connect said eye to the jacquard-hook andheddle-weight, which are so well known in the art that it was not deemednecessary to show them in the drawing. Those portions of the (No model.)

threads that compose the loops are secured closely together and closelyto the said eye by means of the metallic clasps G O, that encircle them,thus practically preventing the said eye from moving on the threads.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

In a mail-heddle for Jacquard-100111 weaving, the combination of the1nail-eye A and looped threads B B, that are adapted to serve,respectively, to connect said eye A to the jacquard-hook andheddle-weight, with the clasps U G, which serve, respectively, to securethe threads of the loops together, as shown, for the purpose set forth.
